Chapter 58: The Flowers Are Falling
The applause in the gymnasium gradually stopped, the audience left the venue one by one, the stage lights went out on the ground, and the camera rail car erected by Linshi was also disassembled again under the orderly operation of the staff.
The loneliness after the prosperity has struck again.
For people who suddenly became famous and did not have enough psychological preparation, it takes some time to adapt to the loneliness after this kind of surprise. But for media people who are used to it, it is so accustomed.
"What a historic moment. Since CCTV intervened in the qualifiers in 03, this is the first time that there is a weak school of this level, subverting the monopoly pattern of traditional famous schools. β
Watching the final announcement of the results of the competition, Luo Fatzi couldn't help but sigh.
He is one of the judges of today's competition, a well-known producer of CCTV (not a TV series, a social program).
Since the broadcast of CCTV and Sing Tao's cooperation in the national debate, for more than three years, he has been following the whole process, witnessing the qualification of a strong domestic team and finally winning the world championship.
Since the beginning of the 90s, since the start of the International College Debate Championship, more than half of the world championships have been won by domestic universities, and nearly 20 teams have qualified.
But in the past, among these teams, there really hasn't been a spicy chicken school that is not even 985 - today's Jinling Normal University is the first.
"When the East China finals are over, ask Editor-in-Chief Liu for some relevant interview materials. The second debater at Normal University is a talent, and after graduation, he may be able to come to CCTV's legal interview program. β
Luo Fatzi can think so, but he can be regarded as insisting on a bit of professional ethics.
He knew that he would be a judge in the next competition, so it was obviously unethical to have a private communication with the contestants before the end of the competition.
It was precisely because of this idea of avoidance in his heart that he didn't see the grand occasion of Feng Jianxiong being watched as soon as he left the scene.
However, for the players who have already been eliminated, there is nothing to avoid.
Luo Fatzi glanced at a colleague from CCTV, who was prepared to interview the failed Jinling University team there. He was idle, so he went up to listen to a few words.
A variety show, and finally the content released on the TV station, is only a small part of the filming process. Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that at least two-thirds of the footage is cut.
Jinling University lost today, and their post-game comments and so on, nine out of ten will not be released in the end.
But front-line reporters can't be lazy, they must collect all the materials steadily, and finally leave it to the leader to make a decision in person, and kill with a wave of his hand.
Perhaps knowing that it was basically impossible to release it, the reporter was very casual when he asked questions, without any guidance, and completely improvised by the other party: "Students, are you satisfied with your performance in today's game? Have you thought about making persistent efforts next year?"
The interviewee was none other than Meng Dana, the number one main force of Jinling University, who was in a somewhat excited mental state and could not control himself, and in a slightly Xianglin-style indignant tone, he said with a nervous expression: "I'm not too satisfied, but it's not important! I think the biggest problem in the debate circles in recent years is that many bad schools have used money to buy off their classmates! This is too shameless and has left a very bad influence on the academic circles!"
The reporter was just asking casually and routinely, so there was no harmonious guidance. Unexpectedly, when he asked such an extremely discordant sentence, he suddenly became a little interested.
Even Luo Fatzi, who was just listening to the side, leaned over and asked thoughtfully, "This classmate, did you have any misunderstanding?"
Meng Dana was immersed in the distraction of being defeated by the bad school, and he was afraid that he was a little unhappy, and recognized that Luo Fatzi was one of the five official judges just now, and he suddenly became energetic. He also disregarded etiquette, grabbed Luo Fat's sleeve and complained clearly:
"Teacher Luo, you don't know! In recent years, the atmosphere in Jinling's academic circles has been very bad! Because there are too many 211 universities in Jinling, there are four or five, and the source of high-quality students is very strong!
Since a few years ago, every year after the college entrance examination, the schools of Dongda, Normal University, Hehai, and Polytechnic have all opened material incentives such as "40 points higher than the school's pitch line, four years of tuition free", and "60 points higher than the school's pitch line, free tuition and additional scholarships"!
During the semi-finals the year before last, we met the University of Tokyo, and one of the team members had a score in the college entrance examination that was enough to enter our Jinling University, but he went to the University of Tokyo because of the entrance scholarship given by the University!
Isn't this a blatant use of money to corrupt academics? These spicy chickens are rotten schools, and the level of running schools cannot compete with our famous schools, so they use this kind of money to buy off the inferior methods, which is too despicable!"
Luo Fatzi and the CCTV reporter who was in charge were stunned, and they couldn't understand Meng Dana's logic for the first time. Later, after thinking about it for a while, I realized that what he said was that "the reason why Normal University was able to win today may be that some outstanding students who could have gone to Jinling University were poached with scholarships to study at Normal University."
This matter has gradually occurred since the expansion of university enrollment at the end of the last century, and it is not illegal. CCTV people are responsible for what they say, and Luo Fatzi naturally will not follow Meng Dana to say discordant remarks, so he will persuade him in turn at the moment:
"Mr. Meng, that's not right. The entrance scholarship system has not been said by the Ministry of Education to be used, that is, it can be done if the law does not prohibit it. If a student with a high score in the college entrance examination can become a talented person in the same way as he did in Jinling University, it means that the university's academic ability is also good!
After saying these words, Luo Fatzi changed his words: "However, listening to what you just meant, do you think that Feng Jianxiong, the second argument of the opposing party, should belong to the kind of situation of 'I got a high score in the college entrance examination and went to apply to the Normal University because of material rewards'?"
It's better to be able to ask a few dry words than nothing. This is an occupational disease of media people.
"Of course! I think it's at least 60 points higher than the Shida pitch line to go! Otherwise, how can those scumbags be so good at exporting!" Meng Dana was straightforward, not feeling the slightest need to investigate.
"It's kind of interesting, so I'll help you understand the situation. Luo Fatzi touched his chin and said righteously.
He knew that there was another group of colleagues who must have interviewed Feng Jianxiong and them after the game, and he didn't want to listen to them in order to avoid it, but now he was aroused by Meng Dana's speculation, so he had to take a look.
It took a few words to find out what lounge the other party was, and Luo Fatzi walked straight away. As a result, there was a corridor across the hallway, and I saw that there were many people crowded at the door of the target room.
"So many people interviewed, isn't it?" Luo Fatzi was shocked, and said in his heart, isn't it just the semi-final winner of the debate competition in the East China Division? Although the scene of a weak school turning into a dark horse has a bit of media value, it won't come to this extent, right?
"Xiaohu, why are so many people?, all of them are interviewing Feng Jianxiong?" Luo Fatzi grabbed a photographer in the station and asked directly.
"Yo, Mr. Luo," the photographer looked up, handed him a cigarette, but didn't light it, and then pointed to it and said, "You don't know, that Feng Jianxiong just had a competition when he was on a show on this provincial station at the same time, and the social attention suddenly rose." I heard that not only the leaders and scholars of the legal and criminal investigation circles are concerned, but also some people from the industry are concerned. You'll know if you watch it, oh, there's a video from Editor-in-Chief Liu. β
Luo Fatzi thought about it, there were too many people to see, and it was estimated that Feng Jianxiong would not be able to run away for a while, so he asked his colleague for a video to watch.
The content of the video is naturally the broadcast of "Jinling Zero Distance" that night.
I saw that in the edited surveillance camera on the show, Feng Jianxiong was full of flowers and golden lotus, and he persuaded and scolded a habitual offender who had given up treatment, and a young man who wanted to drag his back to the end because he thought that his life's future was ruined.
In the end, it was also sprinkled with a large paragraph of whipping that made people repent and rehabilitate.
Luo Fatzi looked at it for a long time, and suddenly felt dumbfounded.
Especially when he heard the almost hardcore sci-fi speculation about "Sesame Credit", Luo Fatzi faintly felt that as long as the social influence of this matter went up, it would definitely attract the attention of the boss of Ahri Ma.
He pondered, since this Feng Jianxiong is studying law, it is estimated that he will definitely have to mix in the circle of legal consultation in the future. can be targeted by Boss Ma, I am afraid that I will not have to worry about food and clothing in this life.
After watching the video, he had an occupational illness, and he had another heart, so he found a peer friend he met on Jiangnan Satellite TV and made a phone call to ask about the ratings and audience response of this issue of "Jinling Zero Distance".
Don't ask why Luo Fatzi has friends in local provincial stations - the circle of TV media is this virtue, and it is very important to be a delicate person. People who can mix in CCTV can basically have friends easily in the provincial stations of various provinces.
"Oh, tonight's episode has an audience rating of 6.7%?usually an average of only 3%?Reader calls have also tripled? I remember that "Jinling Zero Distance" is already the highest-rated variety show on Jiangnan Satellite TV, right? Sure enough, ......"
Luo Fatzi hung up the phone, but the shock in his heart was even more intense.
It's 06 now, and online video has begun to invade TV media, but Youku has only been running for more than half a year after all, and the power is not great. The TV series "Bright Sword", which was the most watched by CCTV that year, could reach an average rating of 12%. And the most popular one or two of CCTV's variety shows have even higher ratings than popular fire dramas.
After all, TV series are not time-sensitive, and you can watch them at any time. Watching it in one breath on a video website is more refreshing than chasing two episodes a day on the TV station. Most variety shows are time-sensitive, so on CCTV, the most popular variety shows have higher ratings than the most popular TV series, which should be.
However, when it comes to local television, the situation is reversed.
Because of the variety shows of local stations, in addition to entertainment programs, many of them have geographical limitations, especially those social programs, which locals like to watch very much, while outsiders may not watch them.
Therefore, in addition to Mango Channel's "Super Girl", no other domestic variety show can be compared with CCTV's ratings - as for Jiangnan Satellite TV's future fist program "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", I haven't even seen a shadow yet.
As for local stations to show current popular fire dramas, as long as they are on the provincial station, the ratings are generally not much lower than those of CCTV - because for TV drama audiences, there is no difference between watching "Wulin Gaiden" on CCTV and watching "Wulin Gaiden" on Jiangnan Satellite TV.
Therefore, the most popular TV series on local stations today can often have 8~9% ratings, and the most popular variety shows are only 3~4%.
Tonight's "Jinling Zero Distance" has 6.7%, which is definitely the result of the word-of-mouth explosion. And the increase in readers' calls is real and ironclad.
β¦β¦
After watching the video and making all the preparations for the investigation, most of the time passed in an instant.
The crowd of onlookers who were grabbing news inside finally dispersed. Only people like him, who don't need to pursue timeliness and talk purely out of curiosity, have the patience to stay so late. He had planned to listen to an interview with a colleague, but he only avoided listening to it. But his colleagues were in a hurry to go back to catch up with the materials, and there was no one in the field, so he didn't bother to avoid it.
In the lounge, several divisional debaters led by Feng Jianxiong also looked a little tired, but their emotions were very excited, obviously because of the doping overdraft effect brought about by winning the game.
Luo Fatzi smiled kindly, and stepped forward to talk: "Classmate Feng, congratulations on winning the competition, introduce yourself, I am a CCTV ......"
"Oh, you're Teacher Luo from the jury, right?" Feng Jianxiong glanced at the other party and immediately recognized it.
"Okay, I'll stop talking nonsense. Luo Fatzi reacted very quickly, and immediately got to the point,
"Supposedly, I'm still a judge in the next competition, so I shouldn't have come to interview you. But after learning about your past, I can't help but be curious about your achievements. I want to confirm with you a question - Meng from Jinling University, just now he kept reporting that he suspected that when you took the college entrance examination last year, you were tempted by the entrance scholarship of Jinling Normal University, so you reported your high score and low report, and filled in this matter - is this the case?"
Feng Jianxiong and the other teammates looked at each other for a moment, and they were all inexplicably surprised.
Feng Jianxiong said playfully: "How is it possible? Do I look like the kind of person who can look down on that little money? Teacher Luo, it seems that I overestimated you, and you said just now that you knew about my deeds." β
"Uh...... What's the problem?" Luo Fatzi was still a little unclear, "I said that I understood, I just watched your social program today, "Jinling Zero Distance". Is there anything else? I'm not heard of. β
Feng Jianxiong smiled: "Only this? Then you are indeed lonely." Because I have been in college for a year, I have already earned tens of millions of dollars, Mr. Luo, do you think I will be the kind of person who will go to high scores and low reports for tens of thousands of yuan in entrance scholarships?"
Belch...... This guy is really straightforward!
Luo Fatzi felt a little unhappy in his heart, and it was the first time he was directly said to his face, "Then you are indeed lonely."
However, Feng Jianxiong's confident words had an inexplicable tension.
A person who earns tens of millions of dollars a year is indeed unlikely to be tempted by a scholarship of tens of thousands of yuan.
"Then why did you report to Jinling Normal University in the first place?"
"My grades are only enough to apply to Jinling Normal Universityβdo you believe it?"
"I don't believe it. β
"Forget it, let's put it another way - I think people like me can become successful in any school, so it doesn't matter - do you believe this?"
Luo Fatzi looked Feng Jianxiong up and down, a little convinced in his heart, but he could only say: "Maybe, but I don't think this reason is enough, even if you are confident that you can become a talent anywhere, why don't you go to the best school under the same conditions?"
Feng Jianxiong pretended to hesitate: "This question...... Alas, Mr. Luo, I don't want to see you, since you asked in person today, I will tell you that I will not recognize you when I go out of this door. β
Luo Fatzi's eyes lit up, and he asked earnestly: "Please speak." β
Feng Jianxiong took out a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth, but he didn't light it, as if he was thinking and reminiscing.
"You should know that I am from Qiantang and studied in high school at Qiantang No. 2 Middle School.
At the beginning, there was a girl in the class next to me, who was the top student in the college entrance examination in Wuyue Province this year, and later went to Peking University - but to be honest, that girl was really ugly.
So, since I think I can get to the top of my circle anywhere, is there anything wrong with finding a school where girls can be eye-catching for three years? β
